Nice victory though in the election she too was very critical of Trump

False, she hammered Standford on his Never Trumpism.

Oh yeah I just dreamed it up. I don’t post what I can’t back up but that’s not to say I’m never mistaken....it does happen but I posted that she bashed Trump in POTUS primary because I’d already sourced it

Her views on Trump evolved apparently ....she saw his popularity in her state correctly

“during the race, it drew attention that Arrington, who made her pro-Trump views the centerpiece of her campaign, appeared to have been critical of Trump in 2016.[6] In a March 2016 Facebook post, she praised Mitt Romney on the night that he delivered a rebuke of then-candidate Donald Trump, whom Romney called “a phony, a fraud” and someone who was “playing the American public for suckers”.[7] Arrington also supported Marco Rubio in the 2016 Republican primary for the presidential nomination.[6]”

“Arrington didn’t initially support Trump’s candidacy either. In a March 2016 Facebook post, she praised Mitt Romney on the night that he delivered a scathing rebuke of Trump, whom Romney called “a phony, a fraud” and someone who was “playing the members of the American public for suckers.”

“LOVE MITT ROMNEY!!!!!” Arrington wrote that night. When challenged by someone about the posting, Arrington doubled-down, writing that she “really has a problem with the moral and ethical issue of someone being president who has done nothing more than ... make fun of people.”

Sanford on the other hand has always been anti Trump which is what killed his career in South Carolina in 2018

Arrinngton apparently knew her constituents better than Sanford
